April 1.-THE Presbytory OF Louisville has
been In session here for three days. II has
transacted much routine business, bat the priu-
cipal work has been the discu ssion each day Of .
motion handed down from the General Assem-
bly, TO strike ont Section 4 OF Chapter "a Of the
Confession Of Faith Of the Prssbyter Church
As follows "The man may not marry any OF
Of his wife's kindred nearer in blood than he
may Of bis own, nor the woman Of the hus-
bands kindred nearer in blood than OF her
own" The motion has becn ably debated ea:h
day, the majority Of the ministers being Of tho
opinion that the clause is useless relic which
may hurt the conscisnses Of many good church
members, aud, that tits not taught in the Bible.
Others adhered 10 the contrary aud also wished
to reserve the confession Of faith" in its
purity. 1t was also thought that this way Of
sending down overtures from the General
Assembly was not the best plain Of effectiug
changes in the creed Of the church. A vote
was taken at last, however, and Il was resolved
by . majority Of two-thirds that the Prssbytery
approved tho substance Of the overture. The
Presbytery desired to 60 on record, hswever,
rs not favorius the overture unless tvo-thirds OF
the other Presbyteriss of the Geueral Assembly
should also favor il.
